A transparent and floral wine with aromas of red cherries, violets, licorice and cherry pits. Light-bodied and super fresh, with firm, chalky yet ripe tannins and savory floral length.

A blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino, the Barone Ricasoli 2024 Chianti Classico Brolio is simple and transparent, living up to the profoundly food-friendly reputation of the category. Dark cherry, blackcurrant, crushed rose and easy spice shape this accessible red. I particularly appreciate these entry-level wines in the cooler 2024 vintage.
